Video Analytics: Gimmick or Guardian?

For those using AI-driven video analytics within their security management system, are you actually reducing false alarms or just re-classifying them? I’m tempted by systems that promise to distinguish between a stray cat and an intruder, but I’m worried about the "cry wolf" effect. If the analytics are only 80% accurate, my monitoring team might start ignoring the alerts altogether, making the system less reliable than simple motion detection. I want to hear about real-world accuracy in high-traffic environments—does the software actually learn, or does it just require constant recalibration?
